The IETF IPv6 and IPv6 Maintenance working groups have started the
process to advance the core IPv6 specifications to the last step in the IETF
standardization process (e.g., Standard). IETF protocols are elevated to the
Internet Standard level when significant implementation and successful
operational experience has been obtained. Vendors with IPv6 products are
encouraged to participate in this process by identifying their IPv6-enabled
products by means of this web page.
